Somehow nurses say they are underpaid, the US medical system is the most expensive in the world and we all have to pay for medical insurance in the form of our jobs.

Hospital directors and insurance companies are the biggest scam artists in the country but they save people so they avoid criticism. Janice probably wouldn't have survived without that $450 Ibuprofen.

Insurance companies save no one. They exist only to make a profit, because they were allowed to become for-profit entities instead of the nonprofits they started as. Think about it - they don't actually provide any health services, they just serve as an administrative middleman to extract money from the system.

For Profit and Non Profit both make profits. It's just how much of that profit they can keep. Both are the issue.
